I lived in Montana where you have your windows rolled up in the Winter. When you're going down the highway at 50MPH and hit a snowstorm you select 4 wheel drive. If it doesn't engage you will not hear it. What are you STUPID and drive all Winter with your windows down?

No Tech, you did actually call him stupid "You have got to be stupid to drive your truck with grinding wheel ends until they are gone.. what do you do, just turn up the music and roll ?"
We have been through this before. You have a poor understanding on how aggressive and rude you sound through text.

I only switch into 4x4 at low speeds. I don't think I'd do it at 50mph.

Your owners manual states you can Shift on the fly at 50mph safely..

I don't see why you would need 4x4 at 50mph. Maybe in snow? I live in Florida so I'm not sure.
